I Race So He Can Eat, Learn and Live

THE NEED

There is a boy somewhere in Haiti  named Nfadson, and others just like him all over the world, that walk three miles daily and sometimes twice a day to fetch water from the nearest well for his family in the 100 degree weather because in most countries there is no such thing as running water. This is something that we can really take for granted every day if we’re not careful. This is true poverty! If our children had to fetch water like this everyday then they wouldn’t have the time to go to school, be with their family and friends, be protected and out of harms way at such an early age, or just honestly, be a kid!

NEW WAY OF LIFE

I have added a new way of life and a new color to why I swim – bike & run. One race out of the year, hopefully for the rest of my life, I’ll be raising awareness and raising support for a cause. Not only a cause that is near and dear to my heart, but a cause that is highly attainable for you and for me, as well as an extreme help to humanity itself. This year I have chosen to support an amazing organization FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY, through their new sports division FH WORLD SPORTS. They are a community development organization that goes into communities all over the world that have the worst living conditions you could imagine, assess the need, build hope, gain trust, and walk along side of those in need so that they may become a self sustained community within 8-10 years by building water wells, providing education and teaching agriculture and trade, to name a few. For more on what Food for the Hungry does, click HERE. My family and I believe in this organization so much that we’ve sponsored a sweet little boy by the name of Nfadson, the boy I spoke of in my intro and is also in the post image, from the country of Haiti. I will asking you to support this cause by supporting me in racing in the NashVegas Olympic Distance Triathlon on September 10th (1 miles swim … 26 mile bike … 6 mile run)
